I'm tempted to gloat but I won't, he he he!
So how's life and food in Japan, you lucky thing?

It's pretty good so far, but I haven't started classes yet so I've just been
relaxing and exploring.

I have some food pictures up at
http://community.webshots.com/user/prasantrin if you haven't already seen
them. Most of the food has been homemade as I am trying to conserve money
till I get reimbursed for a few things (plane fare, for one). I'm not well
versed in Japanese cooking, but my biggest success so far has been my
okonomiyaki. I've been using the recipe my friend's mother (who was from
Osaka) taught me and it has been quite good! I've made it three times so
far and I've only been here for 10 days! I'm thinking of getting a takoyaki
maker and trying to make takoyaki (but maybe with different fillings, so it
wouldn't be takoyaki anymore). My apartment is *huge* by Japanese standards
(especially for a single person) so I have plenty of room for guests :-).
